Bali & Hong Kong
Ok, it's time to travel again. I’ll be enjoying the sun, the beach, and the food of Bali next month. all of the arrangements have been confirmed. the hotels, the tickets and the few friends who are joining me. year 2000 was the last time I set foot on the soil of the island and that was only for a couple of days. it was a compulsory trip to do my diving tests in order to get my license. it was brief. much too brief to do anything and I swore back then that someday I’ll make the time to visit the island again. that someday will be the long weekend in April. 5 days 4 nights with 4 other friends venturing the area of Seminyak and Ubud. Can’t wait.
As if the trip plan to Bali isn't enough, I have managed to get myself a free return-ticket to Hong Kong for the month of May, again for a long weekend. Accommodation not yet confirmed. I am not a virgin to HK but I have only been there twice in my lifetime. The first time was in early 90's and the second time was a decade ago. So you see, I’m so way behind in catching up with the development of HK tourist attractions, although I’m more interested in eating my way through HK. I would really appreciate it if my fellow Xangans could provide some insights on HK of the new millennium. So, what are the 5 MUST DOs in HK? (considering this guy doesn't speak a word of Cantonese).

Thinking of you and hoping you're enjoying the sun and sand!
My Uncle and Aunty lives in Hongkong, whenever I return home for CNY, I always try to stop at hongkong for a day or two. Coz you know flying from US to Indonesia is like 24 hours flight. So a stop in between will be great.
I speak very limited cantonese, but i understand 80% of cantonese.
ryc : I didn't do long enough Ju-Jitsu. However I have blue belt in Taekwando, love Taekwando better than Ju-Jitsu.
You should post the china pictures without words, pictures speak thousands words.

you speak cantonese? that's awesome. i have always loved the food in HK but due to the communication barrier, i tend to choose a different destination instead. i had a hard time in ordering food since nobody seems to be able to speak english and all menus were in chinese with NO pics. sigh... i did much better in china and japan!
taekwando? what's that like? i really am green when it comes to various martial arts. i'm only taking this jiu-jitsu because it's available at my gym and i wanted to learn something new.
